HOW THEY WENT IN.
The Various New County Official.
Take Their Seats.

The new county officers went to their re-
spective positions yesterday morning, amid
wild burst of enthusiasm" as q person
would say if speaking of the opening of the
ice carnival. All the gentlemen dropped
into the nicely warmed chairs as naturally
as possible, and greeted all corners with a
smile. In all the offices boxes of fragrant
cigars lay in tempting array. and whether a
man smoked or not he could not leave the
office without having a handful of cigars
thrust into his pockets. Every one was
happy, and on the faces of some of the
outgoing officials rested a look of sweet
contentment, as much as to say, ''Well,
I've had fair show. and am now willing
to give some one else a chance" When the
sheritf's Office opened Deputy Sheriffs
James Eye and Lou Shepley received the
visitors. 1t was 10 o'clock when Sheriff
Swenson came in. He gave glance
around, gaZed at the picture of McGill that
hung on the wall, remarked that he would
have to hang up picture of Cleveland be-
side that. and dropped into an easy chair
with all the grace imaginable. The visit
ors greeted him, in familiar manner, and
all was serene.
Judge of Probate Won Schlegel. and ex-
Judge LELAND were both in the office
promptly at 9 o'clock. 1t was ''term day.
and, beside the persons having business
there, some twenty lawyers were present.
AS Judge Won Schegel took his seat, Mr..
LELAND stepped up. and in a few words in
troduced his successor. The new Judge
bowed and proceeded to business.
In the office of the register of deeds the
scene was pleasant one. Deputy Plum
mer was the first to put in an appearance.
His pOrtly form shook with suppressed
laughter as he heard the ladies asking one
another what sort of a man Mr.. Peterson
waS-whether he was cross or pleasant
and whether they would like him as well
as they did Mr.. HUM, the retiring register.
When Mr.. Peterson put in an appearance
Mr.. Plummer took him around and intro
duced him to each clerk in turn. Mr..
Peterson had pleasant word for ALL and
seemed entirely satisfied with his tour
around the office.
Ex-Treasurer Matt Walsh was present
in Mr.. James Office and lent an air of grace
to the place that was truly edifying Mr.
James flew around, now addressing word
of greeting to some new conner and then
turning to ask some question of the late
treasurer. The office was thronged with
people desiring to get deeds certified to-,
and the day was busy one.
Comfy Superintendent of Schools War
rem dropped INTO MS Office and began search
ing for the book containing the contracts
made with the city school teachers. 1t was
not to be found. but later on in the after
noon word was sent to him that his prede-
ceSSOr, Prof. Wraaman. had the book at
home, and would send it down as soon as
he returned to the city.
Frank Mcdonald showed up in the
auditors office, and his CHEEKY laugh rang
out as in days of yore. when he, aud not
Mr.. Condit, was the ruling man. Mr..
Condit sat at the head of the table under
which the new county commissioners stuck
their legs, and showed them how to run the
machine. He was introduced by the ex-
auditor, clerks rushed around the office as
during "tax time" but between the new
auditor and the old one things ran as
smoothly as clock work
